Pembrokeshire: Getting the most from grazing in a high-yielding herd

Join us to find out how a better use of grazing can help improve your profit margins in a high-yielding herd.

Many milk contracts expect cows to be at grass, especially during the summer. And while this isn’t always easy, there are a number of ways you can maximise the use of grazed grass when conditions allow.

Join Piers Badnell, LIC Pasture to Profit consultant, and the Twose family at Maenhir Farm to explore grazing principles, in particular those relating to higher yielding herds.

This interactive meeting will include a pasture walk and a discussion on planning grazing rotations. Lunch will also be provided.

Topics will include

• Targeting which stock to graze and when
• Training cows to graze
• Managing expectations in the bulk tank and measuring cost benefit
• Managing residuals and average farm covers
• Balancing a TMR ration alongside grazing
• Grazing infrastructure
